As San Diego parents, we need to be aware of where and how your children are riding their bicycles. San Diego has many gorges and canyons, which are a great asset to San Diego County, but a danger if attention and caution is not payed. It is also crucial that if your children are riding in rural areas, such as on a mountain bike or anywhere far away from help, that they carry a cellular phone.
